Actually, this is one of the few where she isn't smiling. I was trying to get a more serious look out of her, which is difficult. She smiles just at the thought of taking pictures!
Yep, would have been a prefect time to use FP, but my batteries died in the flash!

Quality lens, and great shot of a beautiful woman. Bob, I would have dropped down about a foot, shooting slightly up at her, and with more subdued sunlight. The lower angle would use the higher, lighter part of the tree as dull-orange background, without the patterns in the lower background (chair and rail) And looking at the arm, the slow flash-sync here blows the sun-highlights out, when you need the open aperture. A case for use of fp-mode? About 1/1000s at the same f/5 or f/4, if the background is too dark.
